Bulgaria vs Italy
World Cup Qualification
Date: Sunday, 28 March 2021
Kick-off at 18:45 UK/ 19:45 CET
Venue: Nacionalen Stadion Vasil Levski (Sofia).

Bulgaria conceded three goals in the first half of their last match, starting off their qualifiers with a 1-3 loss at home against Switzerland. The host will be taken back by that loss and facing Italy will not be good for them in the tournament. The home team will come into the game with a three-game winless run in their schedule.

Italy has lost none of their last 23 matches across all major competitions in the records. The host started their WCQ campaign with a 2-0 win at home against Northern Ireland in the last clash. They are on a four-game winning streak and have only three draws in their last ten unbeaten games in the schedule.

Bulgaria vs Italy Head-to-head (h2h)

• The host previously won in their meetings in 1968 at home.
• Since then, the away team has lost none of their last ten matches.
• Both teams have scored in only two of their recent five fixtures.
• Only two of their last five meetings have ended in a draw since 2009.
• Their previous encounter gave a 1-0 win at home for the Italians.

Bulgaria vs Italy Prediction

Having won only one of their last ten matches in the schedule, Bulgaria doesn’t pose a huge threat for the opponents in the middle. The host is ranked as the 68th team in the FIFA table as of now and they will host Italy, sitting at the 10th spot on the same table this term.

Italy, on the contrary, will come into the game hot with a winning streak in their form. They have conceded only one goal in the last eight attempts while scoring 18 goals in the same period. Keeping clean sheets in recent times will help the visitor to play more openly.

There is no doubt that the match is sizing to be a high-scoring affair in ninety minutes. So, the tip for over 2.5 goals will probably be a suitable option for the goals area in the clash. The tip for Italy to win with a -1 handicap will probably be the best bet for the punters.
